i made this offer to president obama with goodwill and in good faith. however, if the president rebuffs my overture, this will afford me for a vote on a resolution of disapproval next year. this is because even if the senate meets in legislative session every day until january 3 including christmas eve, new year's day, and all weekends, there will not have been 60 senate session days between the date the welfare waiver rule is deemed to have been submitted to the senate and the convening of the 113th congress. since the 112th congress will end before the full 60 session day period has alapsed, the congressional review act provides for another 60-day period to act on a resolution in 2013. i hope it doesn't come 0 that. if president obama does not withdraw the welfare waiver rule, submit a five-year tanf reauthorization plan and work with congress to enact meaningful welfare reform that strengthens work requirements and parades for accountability of tanf spending i will be back here in a few months exercise mieg right to demand a vote on a new resolution
